I Optimize For Real People Over Search Engines

Design, Code, Analytics- I’m a designer with an architecture background, I also code and setup analytics. For over 15 years as a digital effects artist, I’ve transformed data into moving pictures that tell stories in Hollywood movies that you may have seen. In 2013, I broadened my focus from animation & visual effects to web based projects under the business name VeryCleverDesign.

Hands On, From Concept to Completion- When I build websites for clients, I’m hands on and I take your project from initial concepts to final delivery. I work bottom up to understand the underlying context before proposing solutions. This can include interviewing stakeholders, analyzing competitors, developing KPI’s for your site, and sketching wireframes on paper. As an artist I’m no stranger to pushing pixels in Photoshop, moving curves in Illustrator or Sketch. Depending on the scope and schedule of the project, it's a role I continue to do. I’m familiar with the front-end code that creates the appearance of your website and connects it to some services like Google Analytics. Depending on the scope and schedule of a project I code in HTML5, CSS3, Javascript,or Python to build your website.
